Hello French and German l10n-maintainers,
there's no rename installed with util-linux in Debian 11, https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=926637 explains why.
But still there are French and German manpages in the according packages, I consider this an error – at least it is confusing.

Could you kindly be more precise? Which version of manpages-de do you
have installed?
I just checked our sources and $ dpkg -L manpages-de|grep rename /usr/share/man/de/man1/rename.ul.1.gz

I'm using "Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)" on a x86_64 system.
Ok, stable.
I just checked our sources and $ dpkg -L manpages-de|grep rename /usr/share/man/de/man1/rename.ul.1.gz
Yes, the manpage is there, but the program isn't. There is also no manpage in /usr/share/man/man1 - it just exists in the French and German translations (as far as I've checked).
This happend when we had a transition of maintainers upstream. So
I think we carried the rename.ul man page back then a little too
long and so it went into Bullseye when it should't have.
I apologize for the inconvenience.
You have the following options:
1. Ignore the translated man page
2. Install the backport for manpages-de / manpages-fr
This also contains more and improved man page translations
3. Upgrade to testing/bookworm
In Testing/Bookworm, rename.ul is both present in english, as well as
in German, French and Ukrainian. So everything is fine there.

We weren't aware of this change. I will archive the appropriate .po
files and remove the template prior to the next release of
manpages-l10n (btw, which happens today :)) Then I could add the
»rename« package (see below) to our package lists, if desired, so we
can translate it and ship the German and French man pages with the
next version.
I apologize for the inconvenience.

As you can see at [1], the English version of rename.ul isn't
available anymore from Debian, only our translated versions. The
rename.1 man page [2] comes from a separate package [3]. What happens
when you call »rename« in a terminal. Does *anything* happen, or maybe
the rename command isn't part of a typical Debian installation
anymore?
